good matches point ready three time work
I look at it as three really good matches to get us ready for the Big 12, ... We just have to work on it one point at a time and see where we end up.
coming compete course fast felt golf good hitting irons par playing practice reach super weekend
I had a good weekend of practice and felt good coming in here because it's a golf course where you don't have to be super long, ... It's playing fast enough that I can reach some of the par 5s in two and on the long par 4s I'm not hitting long irons in. I think I can compete that way.
balls good hit hits nobody practice
I had good practice sessions, ... We always hit a lot of balls, then we go play. Nobody hits more balls than (Woods) at home, I'll tell you that. Vijay (Singh) included.
either everywhere game grow hitters length percent rough seems
I'm with him 1,000 percent on that. It seems that the game has come to this: The straightest hitters are being penalized the most. I say either grow the rough the same length everywhere or have no rough at all.
applaud beats great opponent recognize seen standing team volleyball

adrenaline blocks coming defend focused hard hit hitters seen single spots system three time tonight tried
The two-setter system we tried tonight went smoother than I thought it would. We hit .400 in the first game. We were pretty focused and had a lot of adrenaline going. But that was the first time Hawai'i had seen it so they had no idea. It's a hard system to defend because you've got three hitters coming at you in three different spots every time. We had a lot of single blocks when we were hitting.
healthy involved main trying
The main thing is we're trying to get them involved in is making healthy choices.
ball care few firm forever liked lots meant missed quite
The first few years it was firm, fast, with no rough, and the ball would just go forever if you missed a fairway. That's the way I liked it. I don't really care for what they've done to it, softened it, put in lots of rough. It's still quite a test, but I think it was meant to play firm and fast.
